Say goodbye to fourth-night-in-a-row meat loaf and identical containers of tragically "meal-prepped" chicken thighs. YouTube cooking sensation and restauranteur Sam the Cooking Guy is here to save us from mediocre leftovers. With 20 bulk-cooking master dishes, each featuring a main protein, with corresponding follow-up meals that all benefit from the work you've already done, Sam ensures that you'll never be bored in the kitchen again! Sam's recipes are simple and quick, but never tired. Your Mexican Meat Loaf from Sunday can shapeshift into Tuesday night's Tacos or Thursday's Sloppy Joes. Monday's Roast Chicken becomes Wednesday's Thai Chicken Curry or Friday's Baked Taquitos. "Aw man, Beer-Braised Short Ribs again?" "Nah: Short Rib Egg Rolls!" Sam's genuine and engaging personality, along with vibrant colour photography, makes this book a lifesaver for busy folks who are looking for dinners that they can finally be excited about.

Richie Castillo is the chef behind Bahay, a Filipino pop-up restaurant that he started and runs with his partner, Alex O'Neill. Richie and Alex named Bahay after the Tagalog word for home while the title of this, their first book - Masarap - means tasty in Tagalog, the Filipino language. It's a nod to Bahay's Irish-Filipino background, seeing as how blasta means tasty in Irish. For Richie, this book was a catalyst for exploring and connecting with his Filipino heritage. You'll find classic dishes such as adobo, a range of exciting Filipino dishes and playful recipes with Filipino flavours that highlight his experience growing up eating Filipino food with Irish ingredients. Masarap is the exploration of Filipino food through an Irish cultural lens and a way to introduce more people to the food of the Philippines, which is hugely underrepresented. Alex, a self-proclaimed food lover who will try anything twice, is the storyteller in Bahay. She loves taking Richie's ideas and fleshing them out into points of view to create Bahay's story.
